Two Indian Gujerati’s arrived in the UK, with as much possessions as they could carry; having left their home after the deadline of Idi Amin’s tyranny.
Sitting at arrivals, one party feeling tired and dejected from the journey to the UK wonders what they can do.
The other comes back after a short walk outside. He sits down and complains. “It’s Sunday, I am hungry, there is no food to eat and there are no open shops outside. What are we going to do?”
His friend looks back at him, smiles and says. “We are going to be rich!”
Gujerati’s have since then formed a valuable portion of the business community in the UK, from the aforementioned corner shops to so many more businesses.
How about you? Did you arrive on that trip from Uganda? Or were you related to that generation in any way?
